Bowling Green Curbside Recycling

WHO CAN RECYCLE... Curbside


All Bowling Green citizens are encouraged to recycle through the RED or BLUE BOX programs.
The RED Recycle BOX recycling program is for Bowling Green residents who are serviced by the City. The
BLUE BOX is for residents who live in apartments, condominiums, and mobile homes and are serviced by commercial waste haulers.
CURBSIDE RECYCLING...
Please follow the simple guidelines in preparing items for recycling. Recyclables improperly prepared or mixed with trash cannot be recycled. Only the items listed can be collected curbside.

The City's recyclables are processed at the Bowling Green Recycling Center. If you miss a curbside collection day, you may save the recyclables for the next week or take them to the Recycling Center.
Additional items that are NOT collected by curbside can be recycled at the
24 Hour Dropoff.
